Which reminds me that docu-film 'Melania' – which I can stream but never would – had cost Bezos $75 million to make. It makes one wonder how many years of the WaPo’s Book World that amount of money could afford. Talking about waste land.
I love this! can you send me your email? I want to send you my latest column, in which I ask AI to write poems in "the style of Katha Pollitt." I'm katha.pollitt@gmail.com
Oh, this made me laugh out loud - and also feel the ache underneath the satire. My beloved high school English teacher sent me a link to this post. She taught me how to write, and also introduced me to T.S. Eliot. I'll take her class over AI (and Amazon) any day.

Good point!
Brilliant for someone who has measured out his life while he is etherized in profits.
Same delivery is on the way out! Why, Jeff?

Love so much, and nailed every board. I wrote this today on (sorry) Facebook:
Congrezos Jeff Bezos, on your leaking ethoz!
Your soul's plastic card,
has no space for a Bard
You're our new one-day delivery Jezus.
(In honor of that fat lazy slacker, TS Eliot).
What joy to read ….! Let’s have more humor PLEASE!
🤣 😂 😄
That reminds me of the time, years ago, when I heard Ray Manzarek on the radio opine that Jim Morrison was "all the poets: Blake, Rimbaud, TS Eliot."
I'm assuming that he meant Zebulon Blake, Mimsy Rimbaud, and Wilberforce "Trick-Shot" Eliot.
Yikes, as a recovering Amazonian, I found this“letter” hit all the bs buttons. Spot on!
Yes!....saw that Bezos comment this morning and howled!....ah, the wastedness of our Jeff B!

I love it, but poetry alone won’t be enough to overcome these times—we need activism too. We’re with you. Big hug from Barcelona!
I'll show you fear in a caravan of panel trucks.
Hilarious. (but also not)
Perfect commentary on the state of the WP and why.
Brilliant!
Karma says he will awake in the middle of the night in a hell of a fright and have the hoo-has coming at him. (Or so I very much want to believe.)
These fellows always get pinched in the end (Or so I very very much want to believe.)
Dear Jeff --- Knock .... knock .... KNOCK
Brilliant. If only he’d dared to eat a peach….
